A traditional router has two main abilities: to look up the packet's destination address in the router database, and to switch the packet from an incoming link to an outgoing links. This study proposes grouping rules in a router. Routers generally use a single algorithm to classify all the packets they receive. Grouping rules greatly reduces search time. The most suitable classification algorithms for grouping rules can be chosen to maximize the efficiency of packet classification.
